Allcaps Society Typeface

Cover artwork for Society typeface designed by Ondrej Bachor availible via Allcaps type.

AllCap’s Society refers to a storied Czechoslovak typographic legacy, but is designed as a comprehensive family for tomorrow’s most beautiful books. The initial cut, with its simplified construction and focus on legibility in small sizes, reflects a slower, more deliberate culture of making – where every decision serves reading. Grounded in the tradition of editorial typefaces like Baskerville and Times New Roman, Society adds a Czech touch through its distinctive ‘s’ and sharpened ‘z’, offset by initials and swashes inspired by later phototype-era styles such as Baskerville Flair. At first glance, Society seems humble. Practical. Considered. After a closer look, the wide-ranging family reveals inventive shape solutions honed through refined drawing. A slow serif, drawn as an intentionally thorough and thoughtful contribution to the legacy of Czech type designers – and the next generation of typographers.
